VsFake is a stub TFS connection for git-tfs that allows git-tfs to run in the absence of a TFS server. This should enable a couple of things:

  1. Reproduction of bugs in a repeatable and portable fashion.
  2. Development on non-Windows workstations, running Mono.

Usage

To use the VsFake driver, you will need to set the GIT_TFS_CLIENT environment variable.

In cmd:

> set GIT_TFS_CLIENT=Fake
> git-tfs --version

In bash (or other bourne-style shells, e.g. zsh):

$ export GIT_TFS_CLIENT=Fake
$ git-tfs --version
# or
$ GIT_TFS_CLIENT=Fake git-tfs --version

Status

The plan for VsFake is to implement a mock TFS endpoint whose behavior is defined by configuration files. In development (not just on Mono), this plugin should make it easier to reproduce and investigate bugs.

As of 30 Jan 2011, VsFake is only implemented enough for git-tfs to start and show help.

Building on Mono

Some manual changes (see below) are required in order to build git-tfs on Mono.

Once you have made the changes, you can use xbuild to build and the mono-git-tfs shell script to run git-tfs.

$ xbuild
...
$ ./mono-git-tfs help
+ GIT_TFS_CLIENT=Fake
+ mono ./GitTfs/bin/Debug/git-tfs.exe --version
git-tfs version 0.12.1.0 (37b71b4d) (TFS client library (FAKE)) (32-bit)

Manual changes required to build on Mono.

Create a script called GetCurrentVersion and make it executable.

#!/bin/sh
git show --stat HEAD

Use unix's cp instead of xcopy to copy the VsFake plugin into the runtime directory.
